Seems they are all over the place with there price of renewals lately. I've taken out another policy and cancelled my old one.... I was impressed with the price. I haven't had any negatives yet.

Waiting to see what Lumley will bill me this year, its due to come in the mail very shortly.

GTR and S2000 with them for years now but the S2000 is currently at a panel shop after someone tried to break into it while it was parked at the casino.

Idiots cut the roof to open a door (and i just fitted a new roof a few months earlier), dented the door trying to climb over and in to get to the door handle, scratched one side, busted the steering lock and made a mess of the alarm wiring, police said a Convertible Audi was also broken into that night in the same carpark and way.

If i see a marked increase the others may be getting a call.

Will also point out Lumley was a bit difficult to get a assessor out and process the claim too, took quite a few calls from us and the panel shop to get things happening.

Was not impressed at the time, hopefully the next bill wont be higher to make it worth the trouble i went through.......

I've been using NRMA vintage for about 12 years on another vehicle I own. Recently bought an R32 GTR and insured it with them for agreed value, premium was around $460 / year. Great deal if your car is secured and does less than 9k per year,

I adjusted my policy today with NRMA VV&C after doing some work to the car. Still very easy to deal with.

However, it's worth noting that the woman I was speaking with said that next year they are changing everything up a bit. Most importantly is that they are going to do away with the 9000km a year limit, and change it to "Do you drive your car more than 10 times per month" .

I can see that being easier to manage, but will open the flood gates a bit I assume, and more customers = higher premiums I would be thinking.

Still, we'll see how it goes.

Dam sad for me and my old 33 ,$ 1200 a year but she is my daily,do 30000 at least a year,thought about getting a dunger but couldn't do it.Lifes to short to be bored out of my brain. :-) :-) :-)

I bought this car yesterday and insured with with NRMA VVC..........

It's totally stock down to the exhaust and radio! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

$589.10 with a $750.00 Excess.

Pretty good deal I think.

Bob.

Seeing what everyone's values are on their r32s, I have mine way to low at the moment and will need to have it fixed. I'm sure it will mean an increase in the premium though (oh well)

My renewal came around a month ago, $25 cheaper! This equated to around $400 per year for an agreed value of $18000. I called them up and increased value to $22000 which increased the premium upto around 450. I think my excess is 500 might may be less, sorry I'm abit vague with detail as I'm away on holiday at the moment.

I have to say it wasn't as easy as i was expecting to increase the value, took a little persuading and i had to describe the restorative work i had done and how much i had spent over the previous year etc, etc

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
